I'm guessing "Oeuf" is the other one since I discovered it from somewhere around here in the past few days lol.. unless I am unknowingly adding to the Egg Pile..

Capitalism means a system where private individuals own the means of production (like factories) and run them for profit. The people who own the factories are the capitalist class. It doesn’t mean “buying gum at a gas station”, you aren’t a capitalist because you bought gum.

I suspect in the case of the word "trade" the (possibly intentional) misunderstanding sometimes could stem from the desire to "gotcha" someone else by saying stuff like "and yet you engage in capitalism" whenever there's criticism against it, which.. yeah, all too common, as a pattern

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 3d

a lot of internet discourse can be boiled down to "people are understanding this single word differently", sadly..

glad to get informed!

slightly tangential-but-related case examples highlighted on this article = bsky.app/profile/im.g...

I'm mad that we need SNAP at all. EVERYONE deserves to eat. No one should have to "earn" food.

UBI would ensure everyone has enough money for food, shelter, clean water, and other basic survival needs.

John Collins @logicallyjc.bsky.social · 4d

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working.

I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

(well, I guess technically most pearls apparently start from a speck of dust going in most times, but that part's fine, what matters is the artistic worth in the end)

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

ooo, sick possibly-turn-based-fight animation, I am in!

a long wait for something precious is fine... it is the way of the clam... that's how they make pearls! 🙏

I dunno maybe I'm just in a bad mood and shouldn't be ranting about this entire thing and this doesn't matter either just like everything, I should just learn to chill and pick my battles if internet randos won't do it for their own sake lol..

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

imo this would be insane to do anywhere else. imagine you see an online shop entry for like, a pair of shoes, and someone writes a review of how they think this product sucks... why would anyone go and respond to that with "no, I think it's great, you're wrong"?

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

if someone says "group ___ sucks", then yes, fight them and give out your reasonings on why you disagree. an attack of identity sucks, & is crucial to dispel.

but if someone's just talking about how they didn't like a piece of media, based on solely personal experience, it's uh. just that? 🫠

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

-dudes. fellas. it is a game review.. it is an opinion on a game that someone has. surely it's not important to fight an "opinion" like this, these are a dime a dozen and someone out there always disagrees with you and it doesn't even pertain to any part of real life..

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

I mean like. they could also write positive reviews of their own to counteract mine, but they barely did that on their accounts, either. so it's just kinda funny to me to question their motives.

I know the world isn't all just about saying "yes" to each other and disagreements happen, but-

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

I mean people can say whatever, sure, it's good to be a "fan" and defend games you like, but like... it's a place for opinions... I had my own and I'm sticking with it and I won't change it, so why does anyone do this? trying to go to someone's review of a game and say they disagree?

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

I only consider myself slightly negative, but;

had a funny interaction today on one of my negative reviews on an old game from years ago where I realize another one, on top of like 4 people over the years, try to tell me "you just have skill issue" when I say "I didn't like the difficulty spike"

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

ofc incels and their beliefs are more on their own fault rather than the fault of authors-at-large, they can write whatever they want, but still, good thing to think on if their main purpose for writing yuri stories is to empower women! 🙏

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 4d

fair take, honestly

I enjoy my share of low-tier escapism-fantasy-media, but it's better to realize them as what they are

reminded of a story from a VN dev where some guy ranted to them in DMs about one of their yuri stories being "tainted" because a man exists in them lol... it's crazy

🧃🔁忘れられた百合の移動要塞(Forgotten Yuri Mobile Fortress) @yurimobilefort.bsky.social · Jan 28

i am charging up a take that will probably piss off some of my followers but here goes

the "my yuri cannot contain men in any role" diehards are doing free work for the very worst incels the manosphere/idaenam/neto-uyo movements can cook up.

full concession to these guys while imagining otherwise

if you genuinely believe this you have already conceded the point that fictional women are fire hydrants who lose internal meaing when a man has interest in them for more than 30 seconds and sbsq steps by you are just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. gold-star-ism kills people and dreams

(I am aware I am quoting a joke post, and I shouldn't take it seriously, and surely, it's only making fun of the marketing blurb all too common in all 3D, normie AAA games, as usual; and it's deserved,

but. lol. I can't help it sorry ya'll)

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 5d

this is why I want Scarlet Hollow to be complete and enter the cultural consciousness of gamers widespread

heck, even Slay the Princess should already count, but the fact that this post was made means it didn't get played enough 😔

Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 5d

when a video game is described as having a complex and dynamic narrative shaped by your decisions that means that at the end there's a "good" button and a "bad" button and you get to pick which one you press

you can't run a deck like this and imply that you're "not one of the ones who are playing in a meta level" because like. you are. you just are. LOL😅

by most metrics these are ones of the better cards and it's upgraded into half or more of their uncap levels... so idk what else to say

VinTJ 👾🔎 read shadows house! (Ch. 214!) @vintj.bsky.social · 6d

also look at this deck... really? I was under the impression that kitasan is meta, Spe & Flash are pretty good speed cards for late surgers and I use them, a friend told me I should use Manhattan Cafe because it's underrated and one of the best Stamina cards, and we all know Super Creek was meta..

a picture of Umamusume Support cards, which show;

Kitasan Black SSR (Speed, Lv 45)
Special Week SSR (Speed, Lv 50)
Sweep Tosho SSR (Speed, Lv 35)
Eishin Flash SSR (Speed, Lv 45)
Manhattan Cafe (Stamina, Lv 35)
Super Creek (Stamina, Lv 50)
